A Diamond Five Stone Ring, set with graduated emerald cut diamonds in white claw settings, on a tapered shoulder plain polished shank, total estimated diamond weight 5.60 carat approximately, finger size K see illustration

The centre diamond has a chip to one of the sides. Prior to this it had been certified (in 2005) at the International Gemological Institute of Mumbai as a 2.24 carat stone, of F color (sic) and VVS2 clarity.

Sold for £18,500
Estimated at £15,000 - £20,000


 

. The ring was valued for insurance purposes in 2012 at 66,500. Other than the chip to the diamond the ring is in good condition. It has been well worn and the rhodium plating has faded so perhaps should be re-done. It bears no hallmark, but is stamped '750' and in our opinion it would test as gold. The diamonds measure: 1. 6.48mm x 4.39mm x 2.99mm, 2. 7.03mm x 5.10mm x 3.00mm, 3. 9.17mm x 6.27mm x 4.11mm, 4. 6.94mm x 4.51mm x 3.00mm, 5. 6.50mm x 4.48mm x 2.71mm. The approximate qualities of the diamonds are; colour F/G, clarity VVS2/VS1/VS2. Gross weight 7.8 grams. CR made 17.04.19
